One of the Portland Rose Festival's dozens of wonderful events is the Starlight Run, a 5k (3.1-mile) run on the PGE/SOLVE Starlight Parade route on Saturday evening in front of more than 250,000 spectators.
This year's event was a blast in June, and no doubt next year's will be, too, so stay tuned. There is usually a costume contest starting at 6:30, and DJ Dance Party before AND after the run and more.
